On other models, an optimal design can be either better or worse than a non-optimal design.

In statistics, he wrote pioneering papers about the optimal design of experiments.

Before looking for optimal designs it is important to identify characteristics which contribute the most to the overall value of the design.

There is another conversation to be had: one concerning the optimal design of a new stage in life.

There is often no optimal design, treatment or solution; better in one way means worse in another.

Fisher information is widely used in optimal experimental design.

They need to find optimal designs for new power plants so as to cut costs.

In industries with rapidly evolving products - personal computers - this might indeed be a new and optimal design.

In statistics literature it is sometimes also called optimal experimental design.

Less than optimal designs occur in part because the target of selection is the entire organism and not the trait itself.
